BEVERAGE-MIXING DEVICE.

To all whom z't may concern:

Be it known'that I, FRANK CHonAK, a citizen of the United States ofAmerica, residing at New York city, Bronx county, State of NewYork, haveinvented certain new an useful Improvements in Beverage-Mixing Devices,of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to beverage mixing devices, and is moreparticularly directed toward an improvement in the motor or operatingmeans for the spindle and mixing e lement carried thereby. The mixingdev ce for which my improvement is intended is of the class used to mixsuch beverages as malted milk, egg-phosphate, etc., but may be employedas a motor mechanism for any mixing apparatus requiring but littlepower.

One of the objects of my invention is to obviate the necessity of themotors to operate the mixer, and to this end I have designed aturbine-motor mixin device that may be operated by water' rom streetmains, for instance, by being con: nected to an adjacent water faucet.

I will now proceed to describe my invention in detail, the novelfeatures ofwhich member 7 is carried by a member 7 and carries in fromthe, left in Fi the section being taken onfla line 3-3 in 19 to the Iwill point out in the appended claims, reference being had to theaccompanying drawing, forming part hereof, whereinz-f Figure 1 1s a sideelevation of an embodiment of my invention, artly in section;

Fig. 2 is a partial en yiew thereof, lookig. 3 is an enlarger?se'otionalplan view,

Fig 1, and

' ig. 4 is an enlarged detail sectional view of a form of controllingvalve for the motor.

As herein embodied, my improvement comprises a standard 5 consistin ofthe telescoping members 6' and 7. T e standard base 8 which also carriesa retainer 9 for a glass 10 in which the beverages are mixed. Thestandard member 6 is movable longitudinally of the a motor mechanism 11consisting of a casing 12 which houses a turbine wheel 13. The turbine(in this instance) consists of a drum member 14 hav ng peripheralbuckets 15, thedrum 14 bem supported by a spindle 16 rotata'bly mount inbearing-members 17 and 18 carried by the casing 12. The spindle '16carries a rod lower endpfwhich is mixing or '12 is carried by 21 isprovided with use of electricparatus can attached a Specification 01Letters Patent. t t 1 191 Application filed April 4, 1 19. seriaiiwo.287,453;

20. The casing a bracket 21 secured to the movable standard member 6.The bracket stirring element 21 also carries a valve casing'22 carryinga slidable valve 23 having an opening or port 24 therethrough (see 'Fig.4).- The bracket a duct 25 which is located at a right angle (in thisinstance) -to the guideway 26 for the valve 23. The duct 25 is disposedtangentially to the periphery of the drum 14: andjin alinement with thebuckets 15.. To convey water to the turbine through the duct 25, Iprovide a flexible pipe or hose 27, one end of which is connected to anipple 28 in duct 25, the other end being connected to a source of watersupply. (not shown).

The valve 23 carries a dependin stem 29 surrounded by a spring 30 whicacts to maintain the port 2 in said valve and duct 25 normally out ofalinement, which shuts out the power. To turn the power on, valve 23will be moved upwardly after he described. To allow water to escape fromthe casing 12, I provide an outlet duct 31 which extends into themovable standard member 6. Water from the casing 12 will flow throughduct 31 into the standard 5, thence out through a waste pipe'32 to asink' or other receptacle. 1 i

The beverages to be mixed will be placed in lass 10, after which thestandard member wifi be depressed'by forcing same down by pressing uponhandle 33. When the standard member Ghas been forced 'nearly to itslowermost position the valve-stem 29 will contact with a late 34 whichextends from standard menr er '7. Further downward movement of standardmember 6 will result in positioning the mixer 20 adjacent the 7 bottomof the glass IQ and also cause port- 241-,

as will hereinin valve 23, to aline with duct 25; hence water will flowthrough said duct and 0 werate the turbine to rotate the mixer 20. hemixer will be allowed to remain in the depressed position as long asdesirable. When the standard member 6 is raised, the spring 30 willclose thevalve 23, thereby shutting off the power'and the motor willstop. has been explained, the waste water will flow out through duct 31.My improved a I be used wherever water .is obtainabl, it being of courseunderstoodthat. the water ,will be under pressure,

say, so-calle'd house pressure. In rural disthat is to claim 1s:

tricts and in places where electricity is not available, my improvedhydro-motor, mixer will be found far superior to the ordinary manualshaking operation.

To hold the movable standard member in raised and depressed positions,latches 35 may bensed, each of which consists of a pin 36 carried by ayieldable resilient plate 37. Each pin 37 will engage the same opening38 in the movable member 6. To facilitate the raising of the member 6and motor, a spring 39 may be used.
